Actually that's just factually incorrect. Intersex is a biomechanical term describing thise born with mixed gender characteristics (i.e. chromosomal)
Genitalia are not the only expressions of chromosomes in phenotype. Either you're defining phenotype incorrectly or you're arbitrarily excluding characteristics you don't like from your assessment

I am not ignoring the atypical (for male) features in a syndrome like Klinefelter’s. What I am asserting (disputing? debating?) is that a Klinefelter patient is somehow ‘not male’. They have penises/testes/body hair/etc 1/2

If a male presents with a KS-like phenotype but is found to have, say, Marfan syndrome and unrelated hypogonadism (perhaps not outside ‘typical’), is that male ‘intersex’?
